title: Control of lipoprotein lipase secretion by macrophages: effect of macrophage differentiation agents.
abstract: The effect of macrophage differentiation agents on lipoprotein lipase (LPL) secretion by macrophages at different stages of differentiation/maturation was investigated. Phorbol myristate acetate (TPA) had an augmenting effect on LPL secretion by in vitro-derived bone marrow macrophages (BMMs), thioglycollate-elicited peritoneal macrophages (TgM phi), and resistant macrophages. Augmentation was time dependent and reached approximately two-fold and approximately threefold increase over control cells within 16 and 96 hr, respectively. TPA did not affect LPL secretion from J774.1 cells treated with the agent for 16-72 hr. L-cell conditioned medium (L-CM), a source of macrophage colony-stimulating activity, augmented LPL secretion by BMMs and Tg-M phi, and when added together with TPA had an additive augmenting effect on LPL secretion in these cells. Retinoic acid (RA) exerted a time-dependent suppressive effect on LPL secretion by BMMs (46% within 16 hr and 83% within 6 d), had a relatively small effect on secretion from J774.1 cells (approximately 20% in 72 hr) and had no effect on LPL secretion by Tg-M phi. Dexamethasone suppressed LPL secretion by BMMs, Tg-M phi, and J774.1 cells. Optimal suppression of LPL secretion by BMMs required more than 24 hr. Thus, TPA and L-CM, agents that exert a mitogenic effect on BMMs and Tg-M phi, augmented the secretion of LPL in these cell types, and RA and dexamethasone, agents which induce differentiation patterns in myeloid cells, suppressed LPL secretion.
